Kiefer Sutherland has made a shocking statement. He has said that the sheer idea of pointing a gun at another person felt “amazing” to him. Sutherland says that he simply loves playing a counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer in ‘24′ simply because of the amount of gun fights he gets to act in the show.
Kiefer revealed that he loves playing counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer in ‘24′ simply because of the amount of gun fights he gets to act out in his part. At the same time Kiefer denies that his character and the series endorsed torture and violence in any means.
Kiefer became famous for his grey shade roles he has portrayed in his long film career. He took the challenging and mostly such roles that had dramatic impact on the plot of the film.
Kiefer said: “I love this drama! As an actor I have had an absolute blast doing it. You sit in a room and put a gun to a guy’s knee and say, ‘Tell me!’ Oh, you feel so amazing after that. But I know it’s not real. The other actor certainly knows it’s not real. And up until a year ago, everybody else knew it wasn’t real.”
Kiefer’s show brought wrath in 2007 when a delegation from US Military Academy West Point visited the set of the popular show to tell the producers and talk about their depiction of negotiation and torture which was influencing cadets.
Soldiers in Iraq were said to be using brutal interrogation techniques used by Jack Bauer in several episodes. This claim has been dismissed as utterly “ridiculous” by Kiefer, 42,. He insisted that US Military needed to rethink about the allegations made to the show.
He said: “If that’s actually happening, then the problem you have in the US military is massive. If your ethics in the military and your training is going to be affected by a one-hour weekly television show we’ve got a really big problem. If you can’t tell the difference between reality and what’s happening on a made-up TV show, and you’re correlating that back to how you do your job in the real world, that’s a big, big problem.”
